DAYTONA BEACH — Why should retailers offer all the Black Friday savings? They aren't. The Halifax Humane Society has jumped on the holiday bargain bandwagon with its second annual Black Friday adoption project. On Friday, all black or predominately black dogs, cats and other pets will have their adoption fees waived. All other animals under Halifax's care will have their adoption fees cut in half. The Halifax Humane Society, which cares for about 350 animals each day, offered the same Black Friday deal in 2011 and adopted out more than 70 animals, said Tyler Stover, community outreach director. "This year, with the help of local pet lovers, we hope to find even more homes for our animals," he said. Stover encourages local residents to take time from their busy bargain hunting schedules to stop by the Halifax Humane Society, 2364 LPGA Blvd., and find a new best friend. To accommodate hectic shoppers, the facility will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday. All pets up for adoption will be spayed or neutered, have received their vaccinations and be implanted with a registered microchip. Their humans will get one month of pet health insurance, also at no additional cost, as well as other goodies, Stover said.
